[Magdalen] Computer woes

[James Handsfield]

I use an Apple Time Capsule which is both my home network and 2TB backup.  It backs up any changed or added material every hour; a more extensive backup weekly; a full backup monthly - all in the background.  When I had to replace my MacBook Pro earlier this year, when I turned it on and did the initial setup (taking less than a minute) the system asked me if I wanted to restore from Time Capsule.  I clicked yes, and two hours later everything was fully restored.
